Winter Barn Survival for Broke Horse Moms

Winter showed up loud this year with ice, school closures, frozen buckets, and barns that don’t care about the weather forecast.

In this episode, Angie shares what’s actually helping her family get through an extended stretch of freezing temperatures, from the clothes that make barn life bearable to the small comforts that keep everyone’s spirits intact.

This isn’t a sponsored gear roundup or a “do it perfectly” episode, it’s a real look at how Broke Horse Moms survive winter when the horses still need care, the kids still need encouragement, and you’re just trying not to lose feeling in your toes.

In this episode, we cover:

  1. The winter clothing that’s earning its keep at the barn
  2. Why gas station hot chocolate is sometimes the answer
  3. Things that matter more than you expect when it’s icy (looking at you, low gears and manure)
  4. Community-tested winter survival tips from other horse moms
  5. Lessons WE can teach our kids when the rings are frozen over

If you’re cold, tired, and still showing up, this one’s for you.
